Dragonvale: Strategies/Tips (NOT an add me thread)

[Narakai]

Hi everyone
Is anyone else having problems giving gems. For the last four days I have not received gifts to give to friends and today was only able to gift one. Any ideas why?

Congrats andypandy26 on the sun dragon. I am still plodding along trying to breed one.

I think theres a glitch, I noticed that too. If you shut down the app completely they show up. Works for me anyway.

Thank you Narakai. Keep at it, I'm sure the Sun will come along eventually. I've been trying to get blue fire for about 3 days, all fails (Sun was a Bonus!!), patience is a virtue lol...

I am certainly learning all about patience in this game.

Whooooo hoooooo sun is in the nursery. I used a level 10 crystal and level 10 blue fire and sped up the breeding when I saw the 48 hours. There it was my sun egg. Happy happy

To my friends who have gifted me gems. Please be patient I will gift back when the glitch I am having is sorted.
I dont seem to be getting the daily quota to gift back.
Please dont send me gems until I get a solution from backflip. Thanks for sending me gems. I will send gems to you all when I can.

LOL, this is the exact same combo I just got my Bluey with when I was trying for either Sun/Moon.
Didn't even realize it could be BF, until I put the egg in the nursery....took
a second glance and the moment I saw it was RED with white ice crystals.....
I was stunned, numb, then whoop whooped.....gosh I had given up on this one literally 4 weeks ago.

I haven't brought any gems since way back at approx lvl 14 and only got the min. 50 x twice.
Normally I wouldn't do this, but made an exception this time mainly because I really felt the devs had put together a great app that didn't force me to have to buy gems to lvl up, but I felt the gems were quiet reasonable for the money and they went a long way for me cause I used them very carefully. Guess, it was my way to say thank you for a great app, plus I couldn't get the tree dragon to save myself...continual moss instead and it was a long incubation each time.....so in the end, I used my precious gems to get one.
Still one of my fav dragons, named Trez after my closet friend Treza
Never to be sold, and only been able to breed one ever since which I still have.

I personally don't think buying or not buying gems hinders our chances with the rarer dragons.......for example....you already have the Sandstorm which I had tried first with air/mud 16 times, then a few other combos...all so far to no avail.
With these rarer dragons....two of my friends also got this Sandstorm (when trying for something else) they were both 4-5 lvls lower than me and neither have brought any gems....one since also has the rainbow and the Bluey.

Out of interest, do you recall what combo you used to get Sandstorm?
Maybe I should test that theory and now go back to trying Air/mud again?
One thing I know for sure....I won't be buying 1000 gems to get Sandstorm!

Trouble is I really would love Moon next, such an adorable little gal....gotta be a girl cause these eye lashes are to die for

I love hearing when someone FINALLY gets a dragon they have literally spent weeks (plural) trying to get cause I know exactly how they feel and it gives me renewed hope to keep trying.....even when it gets very trying hehe
They didn't give up either

On a positive note, I have emailed backflip studios three times, same contact person and he has replied to all emails, they are open to suggestions and do advise they will pass these onto the devs....haha, they know I love this app.

I got sandstorm from air (lvl 10) + mud(lvl 10) repeatedly then took a break tried something else once and then went back and got it. Same deal with Blue Fire...so maybe there is something to this method...either that or my kid has the magic touch! And BTW it is a blue fire egg in the hatchery. I would also love to add another breeding cave...

Sorry for not posting for awhile. Got caught up in school. So what did it miss...

@girlpower nice! So you finally got your second BlueFire, eh? That's awesome.I got Sandstorm with Air+Mud on my second try. I have been trying Cold+Storm for Sun/Moon dragons but just recently switched to Cold+Scortch. Any ideas? After a few fails I'll try Fire+Storm again. Hopefully I'll get it then.

Also congratz to the others who scored a rare dragon(sorry, can't remember all the names). Any suggestions? I have all the dragons except BlueFire, Sun and Moon. I think.

the first egg with earth + lightning and the second one with air + quake
i read that air + earth hybrid = sandstorm

Oh thanks Taitai
Nice to see you back
Bluey was a wonderful surprise, unexpected but so welcome
Thought I would give Sanstorm another go (it's been a while) with my same
Air/Mud combo in the hope that after a break it would work for me too....
Nope, it's a fog!
I did try 16 back to backs with this combo already, so maybe the theory that
has worked for others ain't gonna happen for me
Currently trying Fire / Storm again for either moon/sun, no go so far.

Maybe if you persevere with Fire/Storm for a while ....mine were both lvl 10
and it was either the 3rd or 4th attempt that gave me my Bluey.

At least with this combo you may get moon/sun or Blue Fire?
I hope you do get your Bluey soon, fingers crossed for you
